GIANT Trout Fishing in TINY MOUNTAIN LAKE!!! (Catch & Cook)

[@Spacetaco420.]

Your video's have inspired me to go out and do this on my own. You've also taught me to respect the wildlife and area around me. So I always take whatever trash I can find and always respect the fish I catch. Thank you so much for being you.

I've lived in Florida my whole life and don't get me wrong, the fishing is incredible... The bass are huge and there's an absolute abundance of species to go for on any given day but THIS... This is badass. This is exactly what I thought fishing was supposed to be like when I was a kid. Out in nature... In the woods... Not behind people's houses in gated communities. Love the video man I needed this.

[@paulleonard7038]

Then go into the fking woods then! Find a canal or lake or go to the Fking River! Tf you talking about "behind people houses"? Yea, you CAN fish those spots, but don't make it 100% of what you fish. You choose where you fish. When I was 12-15 me and my friends would ride our bikes 20 miles a day going to different canals Lakes to the river growing up in Central Florida

[@spootersply181]

@@paulleonard7038 I live in south Florida where if you want big bass you go to where the no fishing signs are OR north to…. You guessed it, CF. My comment wasn’t me complaining, I’m in shock at how beautiful those spots are, and it’s what I imagined where I’d fish when I was a kid. Florida has beautiful spots but all are quite far from where I live. The Everglades is nice but the bass fishing isn’t anywhere near as great as gated community ponds or up north like stick marsh/ central Florida. And I’ll be damned if you can find me a mountain lake in the middle of Miami 🤣

I am totally with you my friend! I just had total right knee replacement a month ago and have been feeling so down. no one around me gets it and I spend every day alone. If it wasn't for our fishing buddy I would have nothing to look forward to . His videos are so uplifting! I can't wait to get back out there doing what I love..

[@elimasenheimer1360]

I usually would attempt a bow and arrow cast when surrounded by trees like that! It can be super helpful for casting if you don’t have many other options! Basically you hold the fly in one hand and pull it back until the rod bends and let go so the fly shoots out across the water! You can also attempt to jig the fly rod a bit to make it look like the fly is struggling on the top water which really attracts the trout as well! Great video man!

Love your videos. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that struggles while fly-fishing in tight spots. I would have been cussing, you have way more patience than me. LoL!!! Edit: #1 We tried to use that net on Sockey in Alaska. Seemed like a good idea at the time cuz it fits in a suitcase. #2 That fish didn't revive due to sediment in its gills from the lake bottom. Not much you can do about that.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

[@emilyolivier7456]

USE TOP WATER BAIT! get a jitterbug. If the trout are jumping out of the water after your bobber they’d hit the top water bait like a dream

[@InevitableTruthTeller]

When I picture heaven I don't see clouds and harps, I see this. My father was on a lot of fishing shows in the 70s. He eventually ran Good Hope Cannery Lodge, for a while. I spent my whole childhood in the bush, at lakes, at rivers or on the ocean. There is no more peaceful place you can be. I don't share locations of quiet dream spots, like this perfect place you have found. I actually get quite angry, and disappointed, whenever magazines list "secret" fishing spots. Seriously, why send an invitation to every nitwit with a stereo and 5 idiot friends? These precious places are for those who are committed to finding them, appreciating them and protecting them. Thank you for giving me 33 perfect minutes.

I live near Newport Washington, and I think you are somewhere close. I have been to a lot of those alpine lakes in the Selkirks, both in northeast Washington and in North Idaho just north of Sandpoint. I would like to know what lake you are at, and I am thinking you probably don't want to give up your location. It really does not matter because quite a few of those alpine lakes are stocked with Triploids and Brood stock, so it just takes a little doing. Still, I would like to know the location just due to the fact that I believe you are in my neck of the woods. Great fish by the way. I like meeting other backpackers from my area. Nice video and beautiful scenery. You just can't beat it.
